Chapter 82: I’m waiting for you!

Sensen High School.

Today, Akiko Owada and Fujio came here for an interview.

"Isn't the match between Sensen and Seidou one-sided? Why do we still come to Sensen?"

Owada Akiko stepped on high heels and asked Fujio in front of him.

"Sensen won the runner-up in last year's Spring Tournament and overwhelmed the other powerhouse. Now it seems to be a strong school on the same level as Seidou and Inashiro. And the capability of Seidou has been exposed, but on the other hand, whether Sensen has hidden cards, how much strength they have, No one knows yet."

"You think Sensen might win Seidou?"

Owada's eyes suddenly widened.

Fujio was speechless by Owada Akiko.

"I don't think that Sensen can win Seidou, but I won't deny the possibility. At least compared to Sakurazawa and Inashiro, Sensen can cause more trouble to Seidou."

Akikawa, Yakushi, and the Sensen that he is about to meet.

Seidou's opponent, although not strong enough to catch people off guard. But it must be said that these teams are all teams with their own style.

In the process of fighting against them, Seidou must have used a lot of cards in order to win.

These cards, when exposed, are likely to be targeted by Seidou's future opponents.

In contrast, Inashiro exposed not as many cards.

After they saw the superintendent of Sensen High School, Ugai Kazuyoshi, Ugai Kazuyoshi was very flattered by his praise of Fujio.

In other words, he just placed his position very low.

"Mr. Fujio has really overpraising us. We are still a long way off. Yesterday we managed to win the game with great difficulty, and now we are competing with Seidou High School with a momentum beyond our control."

"You are being humble!" Fujio said.

"This is not being humble, because we are not a Giant, and we can't be given the Giant treatment. Most of the players who come to study here are guys who the Famous Schools didn't bother inviting or accepting them.

Before they entered school, they had very low self-esteem. First of all, in the first year, the most important thing is to eliminate their inferiority complex. After that, their training can begin. But in the blink of an eye, it was time for them to graduate. It's too late to train them thoroughly…"

Ugai Kazuyoshi said to them the biggest bad point of Sensen.

'Is it okay to say that? Tomorrow is an important semi-final to advance to the final. If you, as a Coach, say so, what will the players do?'

Fujio is still rounding up the game.

In the end, he turned the question back to the beginning: "I don't know Coach Ugai, what is your opinion of the current Seidou High School?"

"The players at Seidou High School are really good. They practice consciously. The Coaching and leadership of Kataoka-san are also good. Every year the team is very strong, unlike our team. They will treat us as a good practice match."

Listening to Ugai Kazuyoshi's praise of Seidou, Owada Akiko always has a feeling of insincerity. Strangely, she knew that this old guy was not telling the truth.

Really can act!

Sure enough, later on, the words of Coach Ugai changed.

"But in the game, how do you know the result if you don't play the game? If you know the result in advance, who will work hard?"

Owada was taken aback for a while, this was the true self of Coach Ugai.

It has been 40 years since he worked all over the country as a Coach. Although he looks unremarkable, the teams trained every year are also very good.

Famous Coach, Ugai Kazuyoshi.

He probably already has a strategy to deal with Seidou, right?

"By the way, the supervision of Coach Kataoka seems to be known for his hot-bloodedness, right? I heard that he also likes to cultivate an absolute fourth-batter and good Ace.

I have also watched the video of the game between Seidou and Yakushi. Although the game was won by Seidou High School with a huge margin.

Yes, but Seidou was holding the upper hand at the beginning and almost ended the game in the fifth inning, but no one expected him to use it so badly!

What is especially horrible is that at the last moment, he actually replaced all the backup pitchers out and replaced them with the first-year Ace, Putting the whole team's victory or defeat on a first-year player.

Leaving the strength of the pitcher himself aside, at the last moment, Seidou High School has no pitchers that can play. What if the pitcher got injured? Seidou may have lost."

"It's such a big gamble, it's really a loss for Coach Kataoka. If there is anything to criticize at Seidou High School, it can only be said that the Coach of the other side is too immature!"

Seidou's Coach, Kataoka, was still too young.

Fujio did not expect that Ugai Kazuyoshi would have such a deep opinion of Kataoka.

Compared with Ugai, who has 40 years of coaching experience, Kataoka's experience is indeed not rich. After all, he has only coached Seidou for six years.

SNAP!

Just when the conversation between the two sides fell into silence, there was a clear sound of baseball entering the Mitt from the pitching bullpen.

There, a huge figure was practicing pitching.

Owada Akiko's eyes lit up at once.

So Tall!

Tokyo's No. 1 Giants pitcher, Maki Yosuke.

Maki's pitching today was particularly powerful.

"Tomorrow is a game, Maki. Let's end practice here today."

A senior beside him persuaded.

"Hino-senpai, why did you come to Sensen in the first place, and didn't go to Sankou High School or Seidou."

Hearing Maki's question, the senior named Hino was very embarrassed.

"Is there any need to ask? Of course, it's because they didn't invite me. If Seidou wants me, I will definitely go to Seidou!" Hino said and laughed.

As a Tokyo resident, the coolest thing in his mind is the appearance of everyone in Seidou standing together and shouting the slogan.

So Cool!

"Me too!"

'What?'

Hearing Maki's words, Hino looked at him in surprise.

"Actually, I really hoped to go to Seidou. I really hoped! But they never invited me, not even a call."

Whoosh!

Maki threw the baseball in his hand as if using all his strength.

SNAP!

The ball was so strong that the catcher failed to catch it.

'Seidou High School!'

'I definitely don't want to lose to a high school like that!!!'

The young man named Maki had a fighting spirit and anger in his eyes.

At the same time, the Seidou High School baseball team.

Sawamura sat on the bench, looking at the text message in his hand.

"We lost in the third round, to the battery of Nanami Haruka and Hosho. I was so mad, Oda-senpai even laughed at our loss! Wait, sooner or later, we will definitely defeat them. By the way, I heard You won, congratulations! Just in time for the semi-finals, we will go to cheer you on together…"

The text message was from Yamaguchi, his teammate from Akagi Middle School.

Unexpectedly, this kid has become the main force of the team, and has also reached the third round!

There are more than 60 teams in Nagano, and the third round is the top 16.

'Hosho and Nanami, eh? It looks like they are doing well in High school too!'

'Are you guys the representative of Nagano Prefecture this year?'

'I will be waiting for you at Koshien!'
